First Shot: Art of Fighting Twin

Looked over at the Tokyo Toy Show, Culture Brain's new fighter will arrive this year

By IGN Staff

Another fighter just joined the fighting fray, and this one adds a wrinkle previous unseen in one game.

Culture Brain, who's created, among other games, Baseball Simulator 1000, is making this fighter with two modes that are likely to please beginners and heavy-weights alike. Translated directly as the "Art of Fighting Twin," this game features a mode for playing superdeformed characters with built-in combos and super moves, and real characters, who are far more likely to make playing a challenge.

The game is a likely to be a full 3D title, with polygonal characters and backgrounds, with Culture Brain implementing 3D gameplay, side-stepping and attacking.

The game is slated to arrive this year, although the company did not list a quarter or month.
